What do you use to render the svg? In Inkscape it looks rendered properly...

Also in firefox and konqueror the svg looks ok.

You address the right issue though it remains confusing for me:

What does not work (complete file 
http://bokomoko.de/~rd/lyxsvgtest/drawing.svg ) :

    <text
       xml:space="preserve"
       
style="font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;font-family:Sans;-inkscape-font-specification:Sans"
       x="191.83496"
       y="114.67273"
       id="text2818"><tspan
         sodipodi:role="line"
         id="tspan2820"
         x="191.83496"
         y="114.67273">Sample text for demonstration</tspan></text>

What works though (complete file 
http://bokomoko.de/~rd/lyxsvgtest/drawing3.svg ) :

    <text
       xml:space="preserve"
       
style="font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;fill:#000000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none;font-family:Sans;-inkscape-font-specification:Sans"
       x="191.83496"
       y="114.67273"
       id="text2818"><tspan
         sodipodi:role="line"
         id="tspan2820"
         x="191.83496"
         y="114.67273"
         
style="-inkscape-font-specification:Sans;font-family:Sans;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-variant:normal">Sample
 
text for demonstration</tspan></text>


I used Inkscape 0.47 opened the file changed the font, changed it back and 
saved. I seems I created the svg which is not working with inkscape 0.46.

Does anybody understand if the first version is technically not correct?

Yes, it does.

Thanks,
Rainer
